A Migi MoMent: My 89-Year Old Migi Mo Geeks Out!!

Over the past week, Migi and I have been binge watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in sequence. I still haven’t seen Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War—hence the bingeing. Tonight we are filling in n the gaps with Ant Man and Thor: Ragnarok. Guess you could say we’re hosting our own little “ComiCon” in East Mesa!!

Checking out a new nursery...in search of indoor plant for cool new pot I bought at Home Goods. Plus a preview of today’s sunset. MigiMo is in good hands with a Marie!! #caregiverlife #pelon #alchemist #livingwithanonagenarian #livingwithmigimo #livingwithanelderlyparent # (at The Plant Stand of Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAPPzkhSu-/?igshid=1bzn9igxfbmjk

A MigiMoMent: Enraptured By Superheroes MigiMo’s CNA, Cece, visits M, W + F mornings to give her a shower. We have been blessed to always have such caring CNAs visit us!! (THANK YOU, Cece, Lynne Arnold Saul, Carmencita, Sharday, and Deja!!) We have been equally blessed over the past five weeks as she hasn’t had many “deep” dementia episodes involving hallucinations and anxiety. However, this morning Cece brought to my attention that Migi thought there were people looking at her when she was in the shower so she asked Cece to close the bathroom door. Migi was also talking about “the little girl” who has been visiting her since she broke her right femur in January 2017!! Upon hearing this news I girded my loins in anticipation of what might be a demanding day. To my surprise, splitting a tocino con huevo and huevos con chorizo burrito with her AND “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of a Justice” seems to have caught her focus. She’s happily munching away, drinking her coffee and transfixed by images of Henry Cavill (can’t say I blame her!!), Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot (such a stunning woman and she’s seems to be a very centered human being on her Insta!)!!! 🤞🏽 and 🙏🏽 that the day continues along this path. #migimoment #migimoments #livingwithanonagenarian #caregiving #caregivingfortheelderly #livingwithanelderlyparent #migimo #batmanvsuperman #batmanvsupermandawnofjustice #henrycavill #henrycavillsbutt #caregiverslife #caregivinglife (at Mesa, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHrFUOKhyxA/?igshid=13w7d0swcp4g5
